Chapter 203
In Chiyun Palace. "Kang Kang has changed a lot since his wedding. He made friends with virtuous people and won over ministers. Now that the crown prince has been established, what else does he want to do?" The queen asked Kang Tai next to her while holding her red jade beads.

Kangtai bowed his waist and said with a smile: "The Queen is wise. King Kang used the wedding to regroup. Recently, Concubine Su and Mr. Cao have become very close. Mr. Cao seems to be very satisfied with King Kang now. The prince can be dethroned, Besides, Concubine Su wants to be the Queen Mother, and she won’t be able to do so for more than three or two days.”

"But I don't have a prince, so what can I fight with? King Xian is useless, and Prince Cheng is probably not easy to talk to either, let alone the prince. That one is simply a thorn in my flesh." The queen was a little frustrated.Not only is there no prince, even the only grandson of the emperor has entered other people's genealogy.

"Empress, the emperor is in his prime, so he should have someone by his side." Kangtai said with a smile. The queen was about to say: The emperor is practicing Taoism, and he can't even see her face to face.Kangtai reminded again: "Others cannot see the emperor, but if it is a Taoist nun who practices Taoism with us, the emperor is probably willing to accept it. Isn't that how the Ji family entered the Wuying Palace in the first place?"

The queen also thought of this incident, and suddenly realized it. She pointed her finger at Kangtai and said with a smile: "You are really a good military advisor of this palace. Kangtai, go out of the palace and look for a young, beautiful, and clean family. Taoist nun, I want to send her to Wuying Hall to practice Taoism with the emperor."

The prince returned to the capital, and Prince Cheng and Shen Congxi also entered the city gate.

"This time I went to Fujian and found a large amount of poisonous rice in the official treasury!" Shen Congxi said sadly: "Those moths even processed the old grain at home and replaced it with new rice in the official treasury, and then sold it at the price of the new rice. Go ahead, make dirty money, and have no regard for the lives of the people."

"What you can't imagine is that every year there are natural disasters, and the court's disaster relief money is distributed to the people, and it is this kind of rice." King Cheng sneered: "When God's grace comes into their hands, it becomes a way to line their own pockets. No wonder the disaster relief every year, the victims still make trouble every year."

The prince frowned and said nothing: "Father, the emperor failed in politics, the upper beams were not straight and the lower beams were crooked, corrupt officials were enriched, and the people suffered, but it was the Xie family's empire that was destroyed!"

This time, Shen Congxi was appointed as the imperial envoy to Fujian as the young minister of Prince James's residence. This appointment had already taken a lot of troubles. Shen Congxi also knew that the prince had high expectations for her. Shen Congxi only knew about this trip to Fujian. How difficult it is to be a clean official!Overtly and covertly, he was intercepted and killed several times by local officials and almost died.

Fortunately, the prince had the foresight to send King Cheng and Ling Xing and Ling Chen who had entered the Jinwu Guard with a team of troops. Shen Congxi, who had broken the law in Fujian, was able to return to the capital safely.

The case of poisoning rice caused an earthquake in Fujian's officialdom. Thirty-two officials were imprisoned for corruption, bending the law, soliciting and offering bribes, or violating laws and disciplines.The Ministry of Civil Affairs promoted a group of young officials with no background to enrich Fujian officialdom.

Shen Congxi also brought two criminals who were implicated in Beijing officials back to Beijing to prepare for filing a case for review.King Cheng said: "Look it up! I will support you!" King Cheng was young and did not have much experience in dealing with local officials below. During this trip, he had bumps and bumps, but he also grew up a lot.

During the years when he was ill, he read history books in his spare time and knew how much harm corrupt officials could do to a dynasty.Now I see that my father ignores political affairs, the fourth brother lives a luxurious and decadent life, and the fifth brother only focuses on cultivating his own power, instigating the hearts of everyone in the court.

King Cheng is determined to help his third brother win the hearts and minds of the people by cracking down on corrupt officials.Unexpectedly, the prince and Prince Cheng's move to Fujian would affect the interests of some people in the capital.

Cao Baoli said bitterly: "Jinyiwei was too careless this time. He thought that King Cheng and Shen Congxi were just literati, so he sent two useless ones. Unexpectedly, the prince put high pressure on them and let these two idiots go." The boy has become a problem. Are they still investigating Xu Yiheng's case? This matter cannot be brought to the capital, and they must stop immediately!"

"I didn't expect Prince Cheng to side with the prince. To move him would be to move the prince. The prince is very angry now, and there are many princes in the army, so it's hard to move him for a while," Rong Cheng said hesitantly. "King Cheng can't help but break Shen Congxi's legs so that he can't be an official. Is this okay? Let Dongchang do it, and then go to the prison to kill Xu Yiheng and Gao Chen who they brought back. No, let them die without any evidence, let alone establish a case." Cao Baoli said sadly.

Tian Jun fanned the flames from the side: "It is also good for us to join forces with King Kang now. The prince is full of arrogance, so there must be a restraint by his side. Otherwise, when his wings are hardened, how can he take us seriously?"

"That's exactly the truth, otherwise I wouldn't agree to Concubine Su easily." Cao Baoli nodded and said. When he turned around, he saw Qiu Ning still standing next to him and shouted, "Why don't you go quickly! If that kid Zhai Kun can't do it, Good thing, just don't come back with him!" Qiu Ning trembled and hurried to the east factory.

"Lord Cao, the Emperor woke up in the morning and went for a walk in the garden again." Wu Liande, the young chamberlain, came to report.

"Huh? Who is following the emperor?" Cao Baoli asked.

Wu Liande returned: "The emperor only asked An Yongnian to follow him."

"Rongcheng, come and take a look. The emperor went to the garden yesterday and met the queen by chance. If we meet again today, it will not be a chance encounter. Don't let the queen take advantage of any loopholes." Cao Baoli was a little worried.

In the imperial garden, the emperor really saw the queen again.Sure enough, it was not a chance encounter. The little Taoist nun who met yesterday made an appointment with the emperor, and the two of them will continue discussing Taoism in the Imperial Garden today.The queen went to see the maids picking flower petals. There were only two people in the pavilion, the emperor and the little Taoist nun, chatting with each other.

The queen did not send the Taoist nun directly to Wuying Palace. She wanted the emperor to propose taking her back.How could the emperor, who had been a vegetarian for a long time, withstand the teasing of a beautiful little Taoist nun wearing a Taoist robe but with a fleeting eye?I thought it was interesting when I saw it yesterday, and sure enough I thought about it and came again today.

Rongcheng understood what was going on when he saw it from a distance. The queen was going to send a woman to the emperor's pillow. He sneered and returned to Wuying Palace with his hands behind his back.

"Send a woman?" Cao Baoli sneered: "Let the emperor bring that Taoist nun in and put her under our noses. I'll see what the queen wants to do."

Sure enough, the emperor no longer had to go to the imperial garden for a date. When he came back, he took the little Taoist nun back to Wuying Hall.Cao Baoli has his own plan. He wants to use this beautiful little Taoist nun to do something, something that will bring trouble to Chao Gang.

"Go, give this to Concubine Ji, and ask her to hand it over to Prince Kang. I want to see how sincere Prince Kang is to us."

Cao Baoli handed an envelope to Wu Liande.
